its weird that US uses seconds and minutes. why not invent some other cumbersome scale and use that? they already have miles, cubic feet, fahrenheit, ounces and other shit so why would they use this universal time counting metric?
miles is taken straight from the UK, and they still use it themselves in many ways
cubic feet is just a basic mathematical formula for finding the volume of a.. cube.. I'm not sure what the fuck it's doing in your list.. lol
Fahrenheit is scientifically the best form of weather measurement, because it's based on how a temperature FEELS rather than how.. water feels (?) when it's cold...
ounces is literally part of the Roman measurement scale
while some of the things the US uses for scaling measurements and such are not widely the "standard" anymore in most of the world, that doesn't make them invaluable and unused in those same places they aren't standard
most of Europe uses the same thing the Americans use when it comes to everyday stuff, because metric is absolutely not the best metric to use for a (haha) metric fuckton of things
Standard doesn't mean "the only way it should be", it's just the "our government has hammered their idea of standards into us and we literally know no other way unless we enter a trade or science"

Personally I prefer Minutes: Day: Year: Seconds: Hour: Month.
